Shop Mini Corodek® wall cladding.Horizontal vs Vertical InstallationBoth orientations are widely used, and the choice is mostly visual:

• Horizontal installation gives a modern, elongated appearance similar to weatherboard. Popular on residential homes, feature walls, and contemporary builds. Trimclad® and Metrib® are the most common profiles for horizontal runs.
• Vertical installation is the traditional approach for sheds, barns, and rural buildings. Corrugated profiles like Corodek® are most commonly installed this way. Vertical runs also simplify drainage on exterior walls.

Both orientations require flashings at all junctions including the base, corners, and around window and door openings.Flashings and AccessoriesFlashings are required on any COLORBOND® wall cladding installation to prevent water getting behind the sheets at vulnerable points. ClickSteel supplies a full range of COLORBOND® flashings in matching colours, including:

• Base flashings
• Internal and external corner flashings
• Window and door head and sill flashings
• Barge and trim flashings

Ordering your flashings in the same colour as your cladding gives a clean, seamless finish from top to bottom.How to Work Out How Much Cladding You NeedMeasure the total wall area you are cladding in square metres (width multiplied by height for each wall section).

Recommended FAQs

Q: What is the most popular COLORBOND® wall cladding profile? A: Trimclad® is the most widely used profile for residential and light commercial wall cladding. It has a clean, low-rib trapezoidal appearance and works well installed horizontally or vertically. Corodek® corrugated is the standard choice for sheds, rural buildings, and agricultural structures.Q: Can COLORBOND® wall cladding be installed horizontally? A: Yes. Trimclad® and Metrib® are both commonly installed horizontally, giving a modern weatherboard-like finish on residential walls. Corrugated profiles like Corodek® are more often run vertically, though horizontal installation is possible. Both orientations require appropriate flashings at all junctions.Q: Do I need flashings with COLORBOND® wall cladding? A: Yes, flashings are required at all vulnerable junctions including the base of the wall, internal and external corners, and around windows and doors. They prevent water getting behind the sheets and are a critical part of any cladding installation. ClickSteel supplies COLORBOND® flashings in all matching colours.Q: Is COLORBOND® wall cladding fire resistant? A: COLORBOND® steel is a non-combustible material. For projects in bushfire attack level (BAL) zones, confirm the specific requirements for your BAL rating with your building certifier before specifying a product. COLORBOND® steel is accepted in many BAL applications but requirements vary by location and design.Q: Can I order wall cladding to match my existing roof colour? A: Yes. All profiles are available across the full 22-colour COLORBOND® range, the same palette used for roofing, fencing, and guttering. If you are trying to match an existing installation, check the colour name on your current product or contact ClickSteel for help confirming the right match before ordering.Q: How do I calculate how much wall cladding I need? A: Measure the total wall area in square metres (width multiplied by height for each section). Divide by the effective coverage width of your chosen profile. Add 5 to 10 percent for overlaps and waste. The ClickSteel team can help you confirm quantities if you send through your wall dimensions.Q: Can I install COLORBOND® wall cladding myself? A: Yes, for standard single-storey projects. Panels are lightweight, pre-cut to your specified length, and fixed with self-drilling screws. For multi-storey or complex projects, or anywhere that requires working at height, a licensed trade professional is recommended. Always follow the manufacturer’s installation guidelines.Q: Does ClickSteel deliver wall cladding Australia-wide? A: Yes. ClickSteel delivers from warehouses in WA, SA, NSW, VIC, and QLD.
